- contamination prevention after purchase

Most common allergenic grp of substances after fragrances

27

31
Q

When can we use amines as a preservative?

A

Amines seem safe in rinse-off products only when formulated to be non-irritating
Should NOT be used in cosmetic products in which N-nitroso compounds may be formed

Q

What are some other ways to reduce contamination

A

Packaging: Oxygen-free dispenser, one-way valve

Natural preservatives e.g. essential oils

36
Q

What substances absorb preservatives?

A

Titanium dioxide & Zinc oxide absorbs preservatives thus lowering the effective concentration

37
Q
